However no one should be physically attacked by other civilians. This culture of picking up laws should be be tolerated and anyone who attacked should be punished.

Free Inquiry is a notable bi-monthly magazine published from the USA by the Council for Secular Humanism, which is part of the Center for Inquiry. Late Philosopher Paul Kurtz was the editor-in-chief and now Thomas W. Flynn is the editor. Feature articles cover a wide range of topics from a freethinking perspective. Christopher Hitchens (late Journalist and noted author), Richard Dawkins (Former professor of Biology and noted author), Sam Harris (Neuroscientist and noted author), Arthur Caplan (Professor of Bioethics and Science) , PZ Myers (Biology professor and author) and many other world's greatest illuminated minds are regularly contributing there. Free Inquiry magazine is being published from Amherst, NY and can be found any book stores in the US including Barnes and Nobel.
In this month Free Inquiry [October/November 2013; Volume 33, Number 6] published an article (coauthored by me) on the freethinking bloggers of Bangladesh and their ongoing struggle titled – 'Freethought Under Attack in Bangladesh' .
